Spectra Therapy

Spectra Therapy is one of the vendors at this AKC event who has been instrumental in developing laser technologies for exercise and injury recovery for canines. Texas Old English Sheepdog Rescue uses Spectra Therapy Wearable Lasers on our rescue dogs to aid with pain management and wound healing.

This weekend (April 1st thru 3rd, 2022) is the AKC National Agility Championships in Ocala, Florida. Follow this link to find out more about this canine agility event by clicking here:

Several directors of Texas Old English also use this system on their personal dogs for control of inflammation, pain management, wound healing and muscle recovery with great benefits to their animals. 


“I use this system on my almost 14 year old OES who has mobility issues. Brandon was totally dependent on myself to help him walk. After 1 week using the large pad to lay on for 6 hours daily, Brandon was able to walk without our assistance. After 3 weeks, Brandon found a new sense of freedom and was able to walk on his own for up to 20 minutes. Based on this result, I will happily continue using the Lase Wrap system on a daily basis. The best part is that my pet insurance covered 80% of the cost.” Stephanie Crider


So whether you have an agility talented OES in need of quick recovery or an older OES in need of some improved circulation and assistance in pain management, Spectra Therapy Laser Wrap is worth looking into.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

A common question among dog adopters is, why are adoption fees so high? Shouldn’t adopting a dog be free, or at least super cheap?

When you purchase a purebred from a dog breeder you may be paying anywhere from $500 to over $2,000 for your new puppy, but often that is all you are getting for that cost. When you adopt a dog from a shelter or a rescue group, your adoption fees are going to pay towards the cost of the care your adopted dog has received while in their care. Which is why adoption fees are often adjusted based on the age of the dog you are adopting. Here is a break down of what our rescue has put into your dog before you even adopt.
